Slower than rapid charging
This is not a high power roadside charger. It is designed for long stays.
For EV drivers
Arrive. Plug in. Enjoy the stay.
Destination Charge is built for long parking stays, not quick top ups. Plug in when you arrive and use the hours your car is already parked.
No app. Your portable charger. Time well spent.
Good journeys begin with a restful stop.
What to expect
Expect useful overnight charging, not rapid charging
Destination Charge is designed for places where cars are parked for long periods. Charging speed depends on the site, outlet, vehicle, portable charger, and setup. It will usually be slower than a public fast charger, but it can still be useful when the car is parked for several hours.
Useful because you are parked
The value comes from using time that would otherwise be spent parked overnight or during the day.

Destination Charge
Planning an overnight stop
Check the listing
Look for Destination Charge, EV charging, or QR activated outlet information before you arrive.
Ask before you book
Confirm the outlet type and your portable charger’s plug before travelling. For a rental EV, ask which equipment is included.
Charge early in the stay
Plug in soon after arrival so the car has the longest practical charging window.

A few practical questions
Driver questions
The key questions drivers usually need answered before charging.
What is Destination Charge?
Destination Charge is a managed overnight EV charging system for places where cars are already parked for long periods, such as motels, holiday accommodation, apartments, workplaces, and car parks.
Do I need an app?
No. Scan the QR code on the outlet and activate charging from your phone browser.
What cable do I need?
You need a portable EV charger suitable for the outlet provided at the site. A Type 2 public charging cable alone may not be enough for a Destination Charge outlet.
How do I know I am activating the correct outlet?
Check the outlet label, QR code, site photo, outlet name, address, status, and price shown on your phone before you start the session.
Is Destination Charge a fast charger?
No. Destination Charge is designed for low, steady overnight charging while your vehicle is parked for several hours.
Can I leave my car plugged in overnight?
Yes. Destination Charge is intended for overnight stays and long parking sessions, so you can plug in while you sleep and leave with more range.
What happens if my car finishes charging early?
Most EVs reduce or stop power draw when they reach the selected charge limit. The small connection fee still applies while the outlet remains reserved for your vehicle, and the session details are shown before you start.
Your next step
At an outlet now?
Start with the outlet QR code or activation search, then confirm the outlet and price before charging.
Arrive ready
Bring the right charger.
You need a portable EV charger (EVSE) with a mains plug suitable for the outlet at your destination and a vehicle connector suitable for your car.
- Check whether the site provides a 10A or 15A outlet and which plug your portable charger uses.
- A Type 2 cable used at public charging posts is different from a portable mains charger.
- For a rental EV, ask the rental company what charging equipment is included before collection.
- Use equipment directly as instructed. Avoid extension leads and improvised adapters.
